A gift for a friend . My first attempt at a paint job with my first attempt with an egg based paint . Thanks to Robin for putting up some paint info on his site .

Google was no help on my side of the pond . Looks like G SANTO 00 stamped . Any ideas ?

I don't know if this Youtube series of videos has been posted but I found this one to be an excellent series on building a chair from start to finish with lots of explaining and info through the series on wood , woodworking , tools and tool use and why he does it like he does as the series...

Here's a spoon/bowl food container lesson I thought I'd share . A friend of mine dropped me off some birch for carving , the wood was cut when green and I've had it for a couple of months . I cut myself a piece and when I split the piece open to make a kuksa and this is what I found . This...

I was looking for another whittler so I decided to order a blade and handle it myself after seeing all the nice knives that have been posted and all the helpful tutorials and advice that many have shared so I order a couple of Polar blades . Since I'm putting a tool together I figured " How hard...

I get this nice little Swedish hatchet , red paint and varnish and a loose handle , I take the time to scrape it down just to have it crack when I try and remove it from the head :( I have an abundance of birch and since this is only for a learning experience I decided to give it a go and...

So , with a bit of time on my hands , I wanted to straighten out a couple of oak sticks for canes so here's what I came up with for 2.00 $ after a stop at the thrift store , a nice aluminium ice bucket for a buck and a fancy cake pan that fit perfect for a buck , the beer was extra LOL . I...

I had some fresh cut wood dropped off by a friend of mine since I'm not as mobile as I'd like to be for the time being so I can carve up a few spoons and such . Since I have some time on my hands I decided to carve some kuksa's . One of the 3' logs was about 8'' at the but so I decided I try to...

A lot of times there has been reference to better spoon knives than the Mora . I've read these threads and happily made made my spoons with my Mora . Not a lot of spoon knives here so most have to be ordered but I'm in luck to be close to a Lee Valley and I picked on of the Haida carving knives...

I've been laid up for a bit and have a little more time to go , as time and weather permits . Barefoot carving anyone LOL . None of the neighbours saw the guy on crutches carrying an axe so to work I went . Split an old piece of poplar Roughed of a couple of blanks Oops , I...

I recycled/re-purposed some nice hard and flat oak flooring end cuts into some strops , they made for a nice size of 12" x 3.5" No need to make these double sided because these off pieces are scrap and plentiful . I've got some 18"x2" end cuts that I will make later after I shape a...

You guys seam to come across lots of nice finds so when these two popped up I thought I'd treat myself . 20.00$$ Canadian for the pair so it didn't hurt the Xmas budget so I splurged on a new knife . It's all you guy's fault because the axe count is now over 10 and the knife count is...

Well , I don't get to find the neat stuff that some of you guys find but every now and the I find stuff in thrift stores so here's a few pics of some of the stuff I've managed to acquire . Glock 81 , I think the previous owner tried to cut a cement block in half with both sides and the came...

Not owning any Mora's other than a spoon and carvers I decided buy a Mora 660 just to see how well it would work . Quite sharp new but a couple of passes on the strop and it was hair popping sharp so I decided to see how well it would work as a carver . This is what I got for my effort .

Here's the first attempt at leather work , a sheath I've made for one of my Frosts knives . It didn't turn out like I hoped but it taught me that I have a lot to learn about leather work . Many thanks to those that have posted tutorials and pics !

I bought a Frosts herring roe knife and ground the ball they have welded at the tip , I find it a very useful knife with a 2" blade that can be pushed hard ( the handle is set opposite the blade but works fine) . I had a light day at work this week so I decided to try and make one so I lit the...
